About
The character "货" finds its origin in the semantic fusion of the radical "贝", which denotes currency historically derived from cowrie shells, and the phonetic and semantic component "化", conveying the idea of transformation or exchange, thus conceptually representing items of value meant for trade. Its traditional form, "貨", retains the same structural elements with the classical representation of the shell currency. Over time, the meaning of the character moved from a broader sense of circulating wealth or valuables to a more defined focus on physical merchandise and commodities within commercial systems, while its composition continues to highlight the fundamental relationship between money and the process of conversion.
